Nothing Ethnic, Maybe some Chicken, Mostly Nessa

I love message boards. I love support that I get at message boards… I love attention I get at message boards. At small message boards such as South Beach Friends I’ve made AWESOME long term REAL friends. Many of them I’ve met in person. That kind of board is special. Your friends, know you, love you, care about you, do NOT blow smoke up your butt…they call it like they see it. And that’s a good thing. Having friends in real life and/or online who tell you WHAT YOU NEED TO HEAR vs. what you WANT to hear are good. It may hurt but it’s important.

South Beach Friends started out as a diet support board. It’s morphed into a bunch of friends hanging out and speaking their minds… and I love that.

But it’s still about being healthy and sane… and my current situation is NOT sane. NOT at all. And I know this. So what is it I need for support right now? I am in a long distance relationship. I HATE it. It’s killing us. BOTH of us. WE are so freaking sleep deprived it’s NOT funny. it’s as if we need to be on the phone half the night… as if that makes being apart better… but does it?

We become non-functional in the important parts of our day. Hell I’m non-functional now just thinking of him… I worry about Jim, he worries about me, phone calls are a lousy substitue for hugs… so I seek others who GET it. Well at South Beach Friends, there are no LDRs going on… so I look for other message boards.. but what do I need support for?

It’s:

1. A long distance relationship

2. An age gap relationship because I am 13+ years older than Jim

3. A relationship that contributed to the breakup of my marriage (NOT the cause but the catalyst)

4. Dominant personalities trying to find their way

5. addictive personalities trying to find their way

so tell me where is the message board for Long Distance Cougars…. etc etc etc….
